Well, This is a very late post but I finished the Princess Leia ANH outfit complete with the belt. See the previous posts for more info:
Princess Leia - ANH and Princess Leia - ANH Continued
The belt was made from white vinal (as a practice piece) and sheet metal. White leather was a pricey object and there were no white scrap pieces available. I have since procured white leather and will make the final belt one day I'm sure.
I used sheet aluminum to create the metal pieces of the belt. I cut a pattern based on the schematic image in previous post. I used 1/4in button covers and brad clips to make the center of the piece.
I used the brads to attach the metal parts to the belt and for the practice version I used Velcro for the closure.
When I make the final it will be done to accuracy of the show.
All in all it's great from a distance and I got some great lessons learned for when the final belt is completed.
We wore these to the 4th Annual Star Wars Art Festival presented by the WAR-Hous in Houston Texas. There are some amazing pics in the Houston Press.
